SHADED GARDENS 227 



niger) and Pachysandra terminalis the year round. 



The pink, white or yellow foxgloves, which are 

 glorious on the edge of thin woods, for June; 

 monkshood (Aconitum napellus) and cardinal flow- 

 er (Lobelia cardinalis), for late summer, and 

 Japanese toad lily (Tricyrtis hirta) and Japanese 

 anemone (A. japonica) for early autumn are fine 

 for still higher growth. 



Other plants that may be grown in more or less 

 shade are three of the best day lilies, Funkia sub- 

 cordata, F. coerulea and F. Fortunei; the big bleed- 

 ing-heart (Dielytra spectabilis) and the little one 

 (D. formosa), banebery (Actaea spicata), May 

 apple (Podophyllum peltatum), snakeroot (dm- 

 icifuga racemosa) and false Solomon's seal (Smil- 

 acina racemosa) . 



Good shrubs are all the native rhododendrons, 

 laurels and azaleas, which do better with the pro- 

 tection ; Cornus florida and the shad bush (Amelan- 

 chier canadensis). 



Last, but not least, the true lilies. Some of the 

 best of them like partial shade and low growth cov- 

 ering the ground around them as well. Moreover 

 these look better so placed than in any other way. 

 Such lilies include L. speciosum, L. superbum, L. 

 longiflorum, L. auratum and L. tenui folium. 



To return to the matter of double-cropping, see 

 that shaded ground is covered in summer unless 

 tree or shrub branches are so low as to do this. 

 There are combinations for all places even those 

 where grass refuses to grow.
